The extent of unethical Corporate behavior really has no limits. I've seen a lot of dishonesty and wasteful actions in the Corporate world. Last week I had the privilege of witnessing another occurrence.
One of my fellow managers who reports to someone other than my manager had their boss and their boss's boss decide to randomly show up in Tulsa. Not sure where these two guys live ( probably Atlanta ), but they popped in on my co-worker without any legitimate business reason. They showed up in the office for less than 1 hour on Thursday and were never heard from again nor a reason identified why they decided to show up.
Well, it turns out the PGA Championship was in town and these two corporate executives decided to use company funds to pay for their airfare, hotel, vehicle and meals so they could see Tiger Woods play at Southern Hills ( along with the nights at the local stripclub as well ).
I seriously considered dropping an anonymous voice mail to our Corporate Code of Conduct hotline, but I simply don't know what the point would be in doing that and it would probably jeopardize my job of which I prefer to have at the moment with two small kids.
Oh well, I guess I've always been a bit of a literalist when it comes to following rules and adhering to a professional code of conduct. If I got upset everytime I heard about activities like this, then I would probably drive myself insane.
